Embedded software development faces many challenges. Teams are under pressure to build increasingly sophisticated systems in less time. Many of them involve more complex and less predictable behaviors thanks to the inclusion of features that harness machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). But, unlike counterparts in enterprise software development, embedded systems need to meet stringent safety, security, and reliability requirements.

Monrovia, California. Parasoft has enhanced its static and dynamic testing solution for C and C++ software developers. The new Parasoft C/C++test 2025.1 quickens safer, secure, and high quality software while mitigating real-world failures, compliance overhead, and support costs.

Parasoft received a leading position as a Leader and Fast Mover in the latest GigaOm Radar Report on API Functional Automated Testing. The recent Radar Report assessed 14 dedicated tools and platforms developed to validate API functionality, reliability, and performance.

I’ve spent years supporting organizations that develop embedded software for industries like automotive, aerospace, industrial, rail, and medical devices. In these industries, even a minor software flaw can lead to catastrophic outcomes.

Monrovia, California. Parasoft released news it has earned TÜV SÜD certification for the development of its C/C++test CT (continuous testing) product. Its C/C++test CT enables test automation following safety standards including ISO 26262 for automotive, DO-178B/C for aerospace, IEC 62304 for medical devices, EN 50128 for rail systems, and IEC 61508 for industrial automation and manufacturing applications.
